Features: This is a uniquely designed introductory textbook for computer science. Traditional books either focus on breadth (covering all computing concepts) or depth (programming and problem-solving). This book consists of 18 chapters, balancing both breadth and depth. The breadth chapters include essential computing concepts and problems for beginners, covering topics such as computer terminology, the Internet and World Wide Web, algorithms and software, as well as the impact of technology on society. The depth chapters are interspersed among these themes, introducing fundamental programming concepts and techniques through hands-on exercises. By using HTML and JavaScript, readers can design and implement interactive web pages while developing problem-solving skills. This book is suitable for "Introduction to Computer Science" courses. It is also ideal for individuals planning to enter the computer industry for self-study, laying a solid foundation for future careers in programming, web development, and technical support.
